Well I'm bored and realized that I never posted my birth story so here goes:

At around 36 weeks, I was having extremely sharp groin and pelvic pain and I felt like gravity was fighting with me down there and it was winning. I got checked at my OB's office and he told me that I was 4 cm dilated already. 37 weeks rolled by and I was still nowhere but at the end of the week I was checked again and I was at 5 cm. Same with the next week so I begged my OB to strip my membranes to see if it would help progress things (I was completely bed-ridden because of the pain) and he did because he's awesome. At about 3 am the next morning I started to feel sick and then I knew I was having contractions so we drive to the hospital. I went to L&D and they checked me in triage to see if I was dilated. I was still at a 5 so they gave me an hour, checked me again, and still wasn't progressed. at that point I started crying because I just wanted pain relief. After another hour they checked me again and I was finally at a 6! so they admitted me and that's when things really got intense. I felt like a wrecking ball was shattering my uterus and pelvic area so eventually I got the epidural and I was so relaxed, I felt like the turtle from Finding Nemo. Then the doctor checked me and said I had a bulging bag of water and I was fully dilated so he broke it and said to wait about an hour or two to help let the baby drop more. Then it was time to push. I pushed for about an hour (my bf almost passed out but the cute tiny nurse caught him lol) and then out came my perfect 8 lb 7 oz son who was 21 inches long. I on the other hand had some hemorrhaging and I went unconscious. I also did get an ovarian blood clot a few weeks later and had to be treated for it. But yeah that was my story! sorry it was so long Lol it was just the most special day in the world to me and I love sharing it ❤
